I have been challenged with overweight all my life, always on a diet, and I have tried them all. I have worked hard too, mostly blue-collar jobs along with the men. I have given birth to 4 children, being pregnant 3 times. My girls are twins. My oldest son will be 50 this month and I lost my youngest son last month 2 days before his 43rd birthday. The girls will soon be 48. I have had back problems the past few years and now have serious neuropathy in both legs and feet, not a diabetic. Doctor (and myself) wants me to lose weight to relief pressure off back and legs, then he said we would treat the neuropathy. I'm desperate to lose weight.
